When Vasco Da Gama arrived in Kenya in 1499 little did he know that some five hundred years later, Kenyan universities and Portuguese universities would be having academic exchange programs.
Speaking during a courtesy call to the University of Nairobi Vice Chancellor, H. E. Luisa Fragoso, Head of Missions, Portugal revealed that the exchange programs between the universities in Portugal and the University of Nairobi would be centered around science, health, engineering, architecture, history and archeology.
